Scandinavian Design Chant

Chairs are numberless.

I vow to know who designed them.

Bad taste is inexhaustible.

I vow to diminish it.

Designers' ideas are boundless.

I vow to understand them.

Modernism is unsurpassable.

I vow to embrace it.

(Based on The Four Great Vows of Buddhism:
Beings are numberless; I vow to save them.
Delusions are inexhaustible; I vow to end them.
Dharma gates are boundless; I vow to enter them.
Buddha's way is unsurpassable; I vow to become it.)
